When to go medieval on a dealership

I purchased a new car a few months ago and wanted to pay in cash. I had the money in my online checking account but they would not take a transfer or echeck. They only would take a paper check. So that would take 3 days to transfer to my checking account. I gave them a check and said it would be good in 3 days.
They withdrew the money after 3 days and then a week later they turned me over to collections! I got hit with finance charges and fees. I was so pissed. Seems like two departments weren't talking to each other. I'm still upset they wouldn't take an echeck. |

| How do you go medieval? What does it entail? You mean you yell at them and lose your mind? To achieve what? You realize most of those working there are, are there for a reason? They are the worst aholes that couldn't last at any other job that involves being a decent human being. |

| OP, if this is a decent dealership with good sales and the car is one that's pretty easy to move/sell (which it sounds like it is), then, at this point, after you've failed to honor the contract and are the one acting all shady and are demanding something that doesn't work for them business-wise...they probably just want you to go away. |

| I am honestly surprised by the replies on here. Op may be a big baby, but as consumers, aren’t we supposed to keep asking for more? That’s how we get things (like good deals on new cars). Dealer said no, which is fine—but spare us your month-end numbers stuff because that’s your problem, not the customer’s. Dealer should have just said “I’m so sorry but we can’t do it” instead of acting like they should take the offer back but won’t. There are SO MANY dealers out there—we don’t need to buy from the a-hole dealer. They need the customer more than the customer needs them. |

Op here. By “medieval” I meant contact Honda corporate and write bad reviews online.
I should have clarified... |

End of month sales are real, numbers must be hit. So understandable and reasonable they want it done by end of month.
Smart shoppers know this and look for end of month better deals. The CC thing is b.s. IMO/IME, I’ve put 2k on a card and paid it off before bill was due, free money for 45 days. |

You sound crazy. In addition, you are in the wrong. |

My guess is if you call Honda, they are going to back up the dealer. You're in the wrong. What do you want to happen? They are forced to take your credit card? If you don’t like their terms, go to another dealer. Stop whining. |

Free for you... but the dealership (or whoever is taking the payment) needs to pay the CC company a percentage on each transaction. That is why some small business prefer you pay cash... |

And YOU dumb for defending a lyin-ass weasel car dealer LOL! What’s tthe world coming to? Next thing we’ll hear people defending telemarketers, LOL. |

Then dealer should throw in some all weather mats (which they get for pennies on the dollar) to appease the customer. They still make the transaction, customer feels better, win-win. Now they don’t get sale and have someone who wants to go all scorched earth on them. |

So imagine you are the dealer... Katie comes to you and makes a deal that you agree upon. $30k for CarX. Now, Katie wants you to take a credit card which costs you an additional $750 -- so, decreasing your already thin profit. You will reward Katie by giving her free stuff, and losing more $$? I hope you are not running a business... but if you are, let me know where I can do business! |
